Viva Survivors Select 10

It’s release day for The Submission Issue, the latest issue of Viva Survivors Select!

You can find The Submission Issue on my Payhip store now. This is a curated collection of some of my favourite pieces from the blog all about this pivotal time of the PhD journey: approaching submission, starting prep and navigating the change from finishing the thesis to getting ready for the viva.

The Submission Issue contains twenty posts from the Viva Survivors archive along with an original poem and a new helpful tool for reflecting back on the PhD journey. The issue also contains lots of new original art I’ve made: I’m continuing with my plan to do all of the art for this series of curated zines!

Viva Survivors Select 10 is out now for £3. If you like the blog, want more help and want to support what I do then please take a look at and consider buying Viva Survivors Select. If it helps then please pass on details of The Submission Issue and Viva Survivors Select to anyone you know who is looking for viva help.

Thanks for reading!
